DJ Calvert told BBC News NI: “I’ve been let down - and I’m not the only one.”

It was proof that Northern Ireland’s health and social care system had “crashed”, said the 49-year-old.

    Over the past while, our government has essentially turned our welfare system into a parody of the US’s. This guy makes the most amazing Lego sculptures, and it’s so fucking sad he’s going through this.

          I dunno’, I still hear far too many people simping for the rich believing they all personally earned their riches and I hear far too many people still believing “capitalism” is just using money to buy things.

          Ignorance is alive and well.

            Yep.

            I had a construction worker try to explain to me how Elon Musk is a genius who makes it possible for me to do my job (I work in the Space Industry, NOT for SpaceX) and I should be grateful he’s creating those opportunities for me instead of hating on him. He got really mad about it when I didn’t agree.

            He got even angrier when I asked him why someone like him, on the lowest rung of the labor ladder, was simping like that. He had no answer though.

      This is Northern Ireland. We don’t have a government at the moment. not saying the Tories haven’t fucked it over. But there is more to it.
